Bring blankets & pillows and be ready to lounge on the mat watching the movie. Bring your own popcorn/snacks and drinks WITH A LID!

Krey Lee Update

Many of you know our Jr. Black Belt, Krey Lee Lowther, had brain surgery just over 2 weeks ago to remove a section of malfunctioning arteries in his brain.  God protected him and he made it through the surgery with a complete success and never asked for pain meds as he recovered in the hospital. 

He is recovering at home now with his family but it could be several more months before he is released to go back to "normal activity" and karate classes because his skull is still knitting back together. 

Continue to lift Krey Lee, Faye and Krey Sr. in your prayers as they go through this recovery process together.
